[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 813989, member: 13402"] Alacowman, No, they don't suggest selling at any certain age, at least not that I have ever seen or herd of. It is interesting to note that when calculating weaning ratios the age of the dam is factored in, additional pounds age given at age 2, 3, and 4 then a 0 is used for age of dam from 5 - 10 for 11 and older cows pounds are again given. [url]http://www.albcia.com/documents/DataCollectionandInterpretationchapter7.pdf[/url] What they are doing makes good sense, in that a two year old is still growing, so gets a higher % it drops each year, until year 5, when the cow is full grown and in her prime. Then after 10 they again add some pounds due to age. Gizmom [/QUOTE]
